Featured Interview With Peter Rogers MD
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, Home of the Huskies (high school team).
I got recruited to Stanford university on a wrestling scholarship and the academic competition transformed me into a learning machine.
I discovered that just as an athlete can be trained in sport skills, a student can be trained in learning skills.
Using these new found methods, I became a dominant student with straight A’s in premed classes at Stanford and then perfect scores on medical school and residency boards.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I always wanted to be like my dad, who was a big reader. I had a big bookshelf in my bedroom and was proud to have read every book on it.
In medical school, I began writing in a scientific way.
In my thirties, I began to realize that I had messed up my social life by focusing too much on academics and medicine.
I began to learn a lot more about social skills, body language, marriage and raising children.
When I was ready to write a book, I began to study the process of writing in detail.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Oscar Wilde is my favorite. I try to live by this quote, “Some people bring happiness and laughter into whatever room they enter, others remove it.”
My Mom was like that, always making people smile and laugh.
Tell us a little about your latest book?

This is the inside scoop on how students get straight A’s at Stanford and Harvard. It describes in detail the most powerful learning methods known to humans.
This book will raise your IQ.
I am a neuroradiologist and have read everything on the subject of learning, memory and thinking for decades. I have tried out the methods and taught them to hundreds of students.
